Download or read book Bibliotheca Pepysiana written by William John Carlton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-20 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samuel Pepys (1633-1703) was a student of Magdalene College, Cambridge, and bequeathed his personal library of 3000 volumes to the College on condition that the contents remained intact and unaltered; they remain there, in his original bookcases, to this day. In the early twentieth century, a project to produce a complete catalogue was begun, and four volumes were published between 1914 and 1940. Volume 4 describes the books about shorthand which Pepys - an enthusiastic practitioner himself - methodically collected, and had bound in five volumes. Over the centuries, various specialists had consulted this important collection but this catalogue brought it to the attention of bibliographers for the first time. It provides background information about the author of each work, places the content in its historical context and supplies bibliographic details together with notes about other surviving copies. It is a valuable resource for historians of stenography and its uses.

Volume 2 contains a general introduction to the library and its history, including extracts from Pepys's diary, will, and accounts. It then lists and describes the early printed books, with notes as to special features, other extant copies and publication history, among them several liturgical books in the Sarum rite and 1557 editions of Malory's La morte d'Arthur and the works of Thomas More. It also includes an index of printers. This catalogue remains a valuable resource for researchers in early publishing history and seventeenth-century studies.

Volume 1 lists 114 manuscripts relating to maritime and naval matters, a subject of particular interest to Pepys, who was employed by the admiralty. They fall into three main categories: official documents of his own time, other official and unofficial documents that he collected as material for his projected 'History of the Navy', and books and papers that appealed to him but are not directly relevant to naval history. This catalogue remains a valuable resource for researchers in naval history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samuel Pepys (1633-1703) was a student of Magdalene College, Cambridge, and bequeathed his personal library of 3000 volumes to the College on condition that the contents remained intact and unaltered; they remain there, in his original bookcases, to this day. In the early twentieth century, a project to produce a complete catalogue was begun, and four volumes were published between 1914 and 1940. Volume 3 lists 51 volumes of medieval manuscripts, some of them consisting of several items bound together. The author, the outstanding palaeographer and prolific writer of catalogues M. R. James, remarks on the almost total absence of Latin liturgical and theological manuscripts, and calls attention to the historical, literary and scientific writings in English and French, several picture-books, an interesting 'scrapbook' and a unique copybook from 1400 included in Pepys' collection. This book continues to be a valuable resource for medievalists and Pepys scholars alike.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bibliotheca Pepysiana, Vol. 3: A Descriptive Catalogue of the Library of Samuel Pepys The present section of the Pepysian catalogue contains an account of the mediaeval manuscripts and some others of literary interest. In compiling it I have followed the method employed in my other catalogues of manuscripts: the order in which the books are described is simply that of their places on the shelves, an order dictated largely by considerations of size. The only printed catalogue of the Pepys Manuscripts which professes to give a general view of the collection is that which appears in the Oxford Catalogi Manuscriptorum Angliae et Hiberniae (1697 II 207). It is entitled: Librorum Manuscriptorum viri sapientissimi Samuelis Pepysii, Curiae Admiraliae nuper a secretis, varii quidem argumenti, sed praecipue de re navali, quae est Anglorum gloria ac Praesidium, Thesaurus inaestimabilis. (With a sub-heading at 6835 of Naval Architecture, which, however, does not cover all the items that follow it.) This catalogue, as has been said, was issued in 1697: it may have been drawn up some years earlier. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
